Winter Avocado Mask

As Barbara Close, founder of Naturopathica says…(and I’m paraphrasing) there is a reason why everyone makes avocado masks! Avocado is rich in fatty acids and makes a great natural moisturizer for dry or unbalanced skin. And lets face it, with winter in full swing we could all use a bit of help in the moisture department. So with the recommendation of my friend Katie, an esthetician and all around skin guru, I gave Barbara’s Avocado Mask a try. It was easy to make, smelled surprisingly good, and left my skin feeling lovely & smooth after just 10 minutes. I will definitely be adding this mask to my winter beauty regimen!

Combine all ingredients in blender and process for 30 seconds. Apply immediately to clean skin. Leave on 5-10 minutes until you feel mask start to tighten and dry. Rinse with warm water. Gently dry face and apply daily face moisturizer to damp skin.

* If you want extra hydration add the 1 Tbsp coconut oil
* Never let mask fully dry on skin
* When removing use warm water and finger tips to gently loosen mask before removing with washcloth. (Although washcloth is not necessary)
* This mask should be used immediately and does not store.

Leslie, thank you for this! Question…I have a facial steamer which opens pores with hot steam, then closes them with cold water afterwards. Do you recommend that your avocado mask be applied when my pores are open? And, then after removing the mask, I close them with the unit? Or, best to apply to an “unsteamed” face? What do you advise?
